Renowned naturalist and bestselling author Jane Goodall
examines the critical role that trees and plants play in our
world. In her wise and elegant new book, Jane Goodall blends her
experience in nature with her enthusiasm for botany to give
readers a deeper understanding of the world around us. Long before her work with chimpanzees, Goodall's passion for
the natural world sprouted in the backyard of her childhood
home in England, where she climbed her beech tree and made
elderberry wine with her grandmother. The garden her family
began then, she continues to enjoy today. SEEDS OF HOPE takes us from England to Goodall's
home-away-from-home in Africa, deep inside the Gombe forest,
where she and the chimpanzees are enchanted by the fig and
plum trees they encounter. She introduces us to botanists
around the world, as well as places where hope for plants
can be found, such as The Millennium Seed Bank, where one
billion seeds are preserved. She shows us the secret world
of plants with all their mysteries and potential for healing
our bodies as well as Planet Earth. Looking at the world as an adventurer, scientist, and
devotee of sustainable foods and gardening-and setting forth
simple goals we can all take to protect the plants around
us-Jane Goodall delivers an enlightening story of the
wonders we can find in our own backyards.
